“A 4 kg box sits on a ramp inclined at 25° to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.3. Calculate the force of kinetic friction acting on the box. Show your work. (Use g = 9.8 m/s²) A block of ice with a mass of 6 kg slides down a slope angled at 35°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the slope is 0.1. Determine the force of kinetic friction acting on the ice. Show your work. (Use g = 9.8 m/s²)”
